The plebeians were the common people of ancient Rome, distinct from the patricians, who were the elite ruling class. Plebeians comprised the majority of the population and included farmers, laborers, and artisans. They had limited political rights initially but gradually gained more power through social struggles, culminating in the establishment of the Tribune of the Plebs, which allowed them to have representatives in government. Their struggle for rights and representation significantly shaped Roman political structures and society.
